Anyway, I'm intending on bringing back The DB back to the fore again, and making sure that it doesn't get left out in the cold, and what better way to revive it than making a part two to an earlier blog, in fact the original was back in August - which was pretty much when I began blogging regularly.
The original blog, Annoying People in the Cinema declared my dismay at people who go to watch a film in th cinema, but then decide they'll make life miserable for those who actually want to enjoy the film.
Well on Friday, having had a long, long week at work, I decided to take the good lady wife to the cinema, to watch 'Did You Hear About the Morgans?' a romantic comedy which features Hugh Grant & sarah Jessica Parker.
We decided to go for the 6pm showing, hoping that we'd avoid the later crowd of possible spoilers, but in the end, we wish we had gone for that later showing, as we had with us quite possibly the worst set of people in there with us, even compared to last time!
To start off with, we were probably a little bit of an irritant ourselves, as we arrived about five minutes into the film, but took our seats quickly, and then settled down quickly to enjoy the film.
As soon as we tried to do that the couple on the row behind us decided to start talking their way through it, what happened to the good old days of back row-ers snogging each others faces off, rather than giving us a commentary on their lives!
Watch the film for ****'s sake!
Then a couple of rows in front, a couple of ladies decided that they'd try and be careful with their opening of their sweet packets, but that only made matters worse as they proceeded to make more noise for longer as they struggled to get the thing opened, it made us want to jump over the rows, and say "look, this is how you do it" and rip the bag open!
Off to the left a couple decided to talk, arrrrrgggghhhhh, and then over to the right, and there's always one person who does this, they drop their cup on the floor, which then decides to continue bouncing making more noise!
Half way through the film the talking from behind then got to breaking point, especially for the wife, as she shouted over to them, "shut the **** up!" - I just gave them the look, and they soon shut up, whether it was my look, or more probably the fear of god that the wife put into them, I'm not sure!
Despite thinking that the film was okay, we still couldn't wait for the end to arrive so that we can vent our frustrations, and just get home and have a bloody good drink!
Why do people go and spend a fortune to watch a film, only then to talk all the way through it - I'll never understand that!

I feel your pain. I'm just glad that one of the perks of my job is getting paid to sit in an empty auditorium and watch a film, to "make sure the print isn't damaged" or owt. I'll probably never be able to attend a public screening again.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when you manage to see a movie when the theater's almost dead, but then the few people who are also there come and sit behind you.
